With this simple script you can get and set the ESXi thumbprint on the vSphere Management Assistant. This is necessary starting with vSphere 6, also explained in this knowledge base article: KB2108416

When sizing virtual machines you should be aware of the number of physical cores available in your ESXi-host and whether or not it has Hyper-Threading enabled. If you blindly follow the number of vCPU's you can add that VMware presents to you, then you could end up with VM's that offer poor performance. If you want to understand Hyper-Threading and why this is important for sizing please read the articles that I have listed at the bottom of this page.

When you have the ID of a workflow then how do you find out what the name of the workflow is and where it's located. To simplify this search I have created this workflow.

You can download the workflow here.

This is the code of the scripting element that is used for the search:

vRealize Orchestrator (v6) contains a switch element that can be used to evaluate a series of values. In scripting and programming languages the switch construct is also named Case or Do Case.

For example if we want to check the status of a VM and there are three possible values then we would have to use three if statements or three decision elements to check what the status is.

if status = poweredOn 
if status = poweredOff 
if status = suspended 

This workflow demonstrates an approval process whre two approvers will have the opportunity to approve or deny a request and when both approvers don't respond within the time limit then the workflow will continue as if it was approved. So this will actively give the two approvers a time window to deny a request after which it is automatically approved. Is designed to use n AD group for approver 1 and another AD group for approver 2.
